I believe this was the first Smisje, a honey beer since 1996. Malty and yeasty, with a rather subtle presence of honey in the nose but more so in the mouth, thus becoming sweet (after a rather neutral onset), with a yeasty, fruity finish with low bitterness. Typical Belgian honey beer, not all bad but I had better examples of the style.

bottle, pours dark orange thin off white head. Sweet flowery aroma. Thin biscuit malt flavor with some orange and sweetness coming in at the end. Carbonation is very light, but it makes the finish more pleasant. Eh...

Pours with a small head and leaves a sticky lacing. The color is a very muted, dark, thick, murky dirty golden. Aroma is strong with light tartness and semi-sweet berry esters. Then there is a meatiness and light bark. Don’t know where Johan gets these weird aromas (in this case a weird combination of strong yeast and honey). Taste becomes a bit lacking, losses all those esters and berry/fruit. Left is a bland meaty-tea flavors. Its a bit briny as well. Despite my weird descriptors there was nothing offensive about it. Easy drinking, a nice brew.
33cL bottle from Bier Temple, dated 2nd quarter of 2008 (??), hotel room plastic cup on 5/17/08.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a lacing white head. light spiced and mild soapy aroma. Flavour is earthy, herbal and slight acidic. Goes into a light herbal finish. Strange and undefineable - but not unpleasant.
